** Duke D'Orleans is the well-loving father of Tabitha and Josette in the canon, who would sacrifice himself at the hands of his brother to save his family. In this fic, he has shown to be a jerk especially in Chapter 90 when Henry finds out that he's responsible for [[spoiler:hiding Josette in the Saint-Margarita monastery in Romalia.]] And how does he react to such news? Jerkily deflecting his involvement when Henry points it all out and deridingly challenges him to a duel in Ragdorian Lake.

** Henrietta's marriage also comes to pass. However, [[InSpiteOfANail it was not Wales]] but Emperor Albrecht and [[BabiesEverAfter is pregnant]] with her child at the end of the story. She's a widower when Albrecht passed away.

** Sheffield, who is Joseph's familiar in the canon, was never summoned by him. That instead goes to [[spoiler:[[ContrastingReplacementCharacter Anne Mallard]], who fills the Void familiar role for Joseph instead, being nothing like Sheffield at all.]] It also has an intended chain reaction where [[spoiler:Cromwell was never killed off in this fic.]]
** Louise in this fic has a massive AdaptationalPersonalityChange that is contrary to her canon appearance and her entire character is different to her canon counterpart. Fans of the series would often know Louise's abusive nature towards Saito, her inferiority complex and her being unable to reach her family's high expectations due to her inability to use magic (Louise being a Void mage after all). With her brother Henry who believes in her a lot, Louise's inferiority complex is nowhere present in this fic, making her unambiguously much nicer (as evinced of her befriending Kirche[[note]]Louise's arch-rival[[/note]]) than the abuser she was often portrayed in the canon. She also summons Agnes in her Familiar Summoning than her summoning Saito.

** Henrietta de Tristain, who is portrayed as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and a benevolent monarch in the canon, is portrayed as a {{Jerkass}} in this fanfic, making no short work of vilifying Henry's efforts out of jealousy.

** Louise in this fic has a massive AdaptationalPersonalityChange that is contrary to her canon appearance.

** The first and foremost change is the entirety of the Gallian Royal Family. King Joseph, despite being the {{Troll}} he is in the canon, did not murder his own brother Charles D'Orleans. Tabitha did not become the BrokenBird in the present that is seen in the canon, who is instead a cheerful girl like how she was portrayed during her childhood canonically. She also retains her birth name as Charlotte. Tabitha's mother, [[NamedInTheAdaptation Helena]] D'Orleans, was not driven insane since Joseph never became the villain. Like in the canon, Josette was also taken by the church in Romalia, but Charles played an instrumental role for her long-lost disappearance; and unlike in the light novel where Tabitha reunited with her during their teenage years, Josette was only a child when she was reunited by her family with Henry's help. Isabella is also more heroic (still has some shades of {{Yandere}} tendences) and is less of a {{Jerkass}} who goes along with her cousin Charlotte, a dramatic contrast to her portrayal in the light novel.

* AscendedExtra: Isabella is a minor character in the canon, while she becomes the {{Deuteragonist}} in the fanfiction.

* MinorMajorCharacter: [[spoiler:Saito, the main protagonist of the original ''Familiar of Zero'', only appears at the very last chapter of the story with minor to no importance in the plot.]]

** Louise was born from the famed La Vallière family, who suffers from inferiority complex because of her lack of practical magic, due to her nature as a Void mage. Isabella, on the other hand, is a member of Gallian's royal family and instead of having inferiority complex, she is much more disillusioned of her father's immature, yet childish nature. Louise is physically abusive towards Saito, where she is incredibly prone to violence. Isabella is emotionally abusive, at some points, towards Henry, who is revealed to be a {{Yandere}} who once threatened some servants and a noble once for attempting to flirt with him.

* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: [[spoiler:Anne Mallard fills the familiar role for Joseph in the fanfic and she's basically the complete opposite to Sheffield. Both are the Familiars to him and are summoned by the same Void mage, but their characterisations are wildly different. Sheffield is a villain who serves as an assassin, the leader of Reconquista and Joseph's right-hand man. Anne is simply an average, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} eccentric]] Earthling from France who is sent to Halkeginia, having had no clue of the world's cultures and was immediately thrown into a state of culture shock. Sheffield is quiet, formal and calm, while Anne is loud, informal and brash.]]
